Accessible Healthcare Services for You
At Volunteers in Medicine, we offer primary care, preventive services, and chronic disease management for individuals who have insurance but struggle to find a doctor or afford high deductibles. We accept donations and charge a nominal fee for some services, ranging from $10 to $20 per visit. Prescription services are available for a small fee of $5 to $10.
To avoid long wait times, we recommend calling ahead for an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome on Tuesdays in Pottsville, subject to availability. Call today to schedule your visit!
